Maria Carter - Published works

During her career, Maria has created thousands of pieces of copy, small and large, generally for clients' documents and her own publishing purposes, and occasionally for self-publishing authors whereby her contributions deliberately blend in with the voice of the author and are thus indistinguishable. But she also loves writing in her own right. She has written a number of chapters in books for other publishers, but also writes for herself - mostly nonfiction - on topics where she sees a real need. Her own books are all works in progress - until she finds the time to complete them!
